@metin Wow, another masterpiece! 🤩

One suggestion, though: The pizza topping looks a bit too glossy in my opinion. The cheese and salami should have a richer yellow and red color, respectively.

@daniel Thanks Daniel!

Actually, the pizza and cheese are already darker than in real life, but I had to place an object key light close to the head to get everything sufficiently lit. I really hope #MagicaCSG will soon get actual, physical light sources, because the current object lights only emit a faint, TV-like light, while HDRI lighting doesn't cast prominent shadows.

I'll export the scene to Blender today, for a re-rendering. Watch this space. 🙂

@metin I hope so too! The rendering in #MagicaCSG is so good and powerful, except for the lack of real lighting and shadows 🙂

@daniel I agree, the renderer itself is a great path tracer, with convincing materials. 👍

Some work-in-progress stages of my TMNT Leonardo.

Couldn't resist exporting my TMNT Leonardo model to Blender and re-rendering it with Cycles.

#MagicaCSG has a great path tracing renderer, but as the editor is still in beta stage, some features are missing, such as dynamic light sources.

@handmademonster Dank je wel! 😊

@metin The textures on the tongue and the leather are a nice touch 😁

metin, 3 months ago

@daniel Thanks Daniel! Being back in Cycles, I figured I might as well add some subtle, stylized texturing. 🙂

@metin 3d noob question: I’m curious what it exports to? Does MagicaCSG generate a mesh or can Blender handle SDFs?

metin, 3 months ago

@jaaprood #MagicaCSG can export to the polygonal PLY 3D format, which can be imported into Blender, including vertex colors.

@metin great work! 🤩 any chance on the other turtles or Splinter? 😃

metin, 26 days ago

@Silvermoon Thanks! I've made three out of the four turtles so far. I'll post them in a minute.
